e36 325i

what is 0-60 on these, would it make a good cheap track car?

They're a very good track car. A good one with a good set of shocks and springs will worry an E30 M3. 0-60 is 7.5, 0-100 is 18.5 which is less that a second slower than a 215 bhp M3.

And they're £800 for a tidy one.

Evo Car Magazine had for some few numbers ago an E36 328i I think as a track day car porject....
I think they are very good tbh!

I have owned a e36 325 and 2 328s and I rate the 2.5 very highly. I think they offer extremely good value for money atm and if you buy a half tidy one, give it a service and fit a new water pump they are generally bomb proof.

Mine got seriously used at 3 or 4 drift days and daily for 6 months and with only one oil change and no other maintenance and the engine was sweet as a nut.

328s are more expensive, more fragile and nowhere near as responsive. They do have a little more torque and go a bit faster but I know where my money would be for a track car.

I say all this even with my current car being a 328i sport which I love.

Thanks for the advice

You forgot to say 'buy this month's Total BMW for more info on track day BMWs'
